Montessori friendly books about London
A walk in London
A book about a girl and her mum are exploring London, visiting all the famous landmarks.
Big picture book of London
A fabulous picture book packed with fascinating details about London's most famous sights, from Buckingham Palace and The Tower of London to Trafalgar Square and the museums in Kensington.
There are pages on London's parks, transport and sporting events, and two stunning fold-out pages show all the bridges and landmarks along the River Thames.
Katie in London
The famous Katie's series. You like it or hate it! It's not always in line with "gentle parenting" but it's well illustrated and full of info about London.
L is for London
Vintage illustrations for this alphatical book about London.
My first book of London
Despite saying "my first book", it's more for an preschooler or early reader. Plenty of info, and quizz.
Charlie and the Notting Hill Carnival
This book seems to represent appropriately this iconic event of the London culture. It also includes a CD and a list of activities.
Look inside London
Who doesn't like a lift the flap book!
The Queen's hat
There are 4 different books in this series when you can follow the adventures of the Queen.
The Story of the London underground
When the first passengers climbed aboard the earliest ever underground train in 1863, it would have been impossible to imagine how the London Underground would change and grow over the next 150 years.
From smelly steam trains running along a single track to the innovative electric tube system speeding through a vast network of tunnels beneath our feet today, the London Underground keeps this busy city on the move.
There are 101 things to find in London
Part of Marion Billet's distinctive London range, perfect for tourists big and small. Turn the flip-flap pages to spot all kinds of things from a double-decker bus to corgis at Buckingham Palace and a pesky thief stealing the crown jewels!
Montessori friendly books about City life
The Street beneath my feet
This double-sided foldout book takes you on a fascinating journey deep underground. One side of the foldout shows the ground beneath the city, whilst the reverse side shows the ground beneath the countryside.
The underground scenes include tunnels and pipes, creatures' burrows, layers of rock and the planet’s molten core, and run seamlessly into the next. Mixing urban and rural settings, covering subjects such as geology, archaeology and natural history
Busy Cafe toddler book
With lots to see and do, in Busy Café young children can join in by pushing, pulling and turning the tabs to experience visiting a café. Pick a drink and a snack to eat, pay for your meal and find a seat!
All around Bustletown
As kids pore over these oversized spreads, they will delight in identifying the same characters on each page as they walk, play, jog, and roller skate - from homes to parks and office buildings to rail stations.
In the tradition of Richard Scarry and Where's Wally, this book encourages kids to return again and again to these charming spreads, following along with the characters and inventing their own stories. All kinds of summer activities come alive in these endearing drawings that provide endless entertainment and spark engaging conversations.
Rosa rides her scooter
Let’s find out which toys Rosa and her friends are playing with today! An important series that celebrates inclusivity, promotes gender equality and embraces the uniqueness of every child
The extraordinary gardener
I really like this one as the boy has just moved to a new flat in a new city. And he starts develop a garden on his balcony!
Busy people - librarian
This is part of a series, although a librarian is not only found in the city, I find that we were going more often to the library when we were living in London.
One day, so many ways
Not only city life but about 40 children living in 40 different countries.
